Chem Scout

Chem Scout is a slightly Indica-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis that was first grown in 2014 by Loud Seeds out of Sonoma County, California. This strain is the result of a long and arduous genetic experiment which involved backcrossing Chem 91 and crossing the result with Girl Scout Cookie. You don’t have to take just our word on how awesome this strain is, all you need to know is that it took home first place in the 2014 San Francisco High Times Cannabis Cup: an impressive feat for a brand new strain.

One thing to note about this strain is that it is certainly not for beginners. Chem Scout manages to consistently test at or above 20% for THC, making it quite the powerhouse strain. In fact, most cannabis connoisseurs consider Chem Scout to be more potent than both its parent strains. As such, beginner smokers should look to Chem Scout’s parent strains as stepping stones towards this powerful medical flower. Start with some Girl Scout Cookies or Chem 91 before deciding to move on to certainly greener pastures.

Chem Scout flowers are not currently available in seed form, although there was a brief period of time in 2014 when the seeds were available to the public. If you’re lucky enough to be growing this strain, you’re in for quite the plant. This one requires a decent amount of care and attention in order to grow to its full potential. Expect somewhere between 10-14 ounces of consumable flower for every square meter of plant.

Many have reported that this bud is a bit skunky and hard to conceal once opened up. Keen noses will also pick up hints of citrus, earth, and nutty coffee in the mix. The smoke from this bud is quite smooth, with a mix of sweet citrus and nutty pine filling your mouth with flavor. Chem Scout’s high, while quite powerful, is a beneficial tool for combatting a number of ailments in addition to being a great tool for just kicking back and relaxing recreationally. Many users have reported an initial head rush instilling euphoria in their psyche. As your mood is uplifted, expect any depressive, anxious, and stressful thoughts to be washed away in a sea of good vibes and creative energy. As the cerebral aspects of this high tend to wane, the physical buzz from this bud becomes quite apparent. At first, you’re not likely to notice it as you’ll be wrapped up in your own headspace, but a strong body high will settle over your muscles and ease your aches and cramps. Many have found that towards the end of this high they find themselves quite sleepy and sedated, often falling asleep wherever they were watching TV.
